Ah-Ha, so now we know at least one advantage to a bolt-on neck.

The higher the bridge floats, the higher your action is going to be.
There will come a point where the bridge is too high, and the saddles bottom out before you get your action where you want it.

That arm is actually used for a vibrato effect.
Do the adjustments yourself. Here is Fender's own guide:

I don't think it's possible to have separate volumes on PUPs in series...essentially the 2 PUP are now one.

They do control the volume for each pickup separately.

I was concerned that it might take some brightness away, which is why I used the 1 MegOhm pots, to counteract that.

They are essentially wired together, but when I lower the volume on one pickup I'm shunting the + and - wires together for that pickup.

The previous owner modded it to V/V/T, which is fine by me.

I further modded it to 1 MegOhm pots & the pickups are now in series.
So basically, there are 4 coils in series. It might take away some brightness, but it gives it more Ooomph!
